Reviews

San Francisco Chronicle -
Doesn't sanitize its tale of African American loss and survival -- the way Steven Spielberg's The Color Purple'' did -- but delves deeply, heartbreakingly into an American tragedy.

Chicago Reader -
This terrifyingly beautiful movie blends metaphor and stark social commentary to achieve a spontaneous grace.

The Globe and Mail (Toronto) -
Jonathan Demme's potent adaptation of Morrison's novel may be substantial, but it is also engrossing, a movie that plays at times like a combination of Gone With The Wind and The Exorcist.

Los Angeles Times -
Beloved is ungainly and hard to follow at times, like the proverbial giant not quite sure how to best use its strength. But that power exists, present and undeniable, and once this film gets its bearings, the unsentimental fierceness of its vision brushes obstacles and quibbles from its path.

Entertainment Weekly -
Winfrey's performance is full of stoic anger, and individual moments have ferocity and pull, yet you're always aware of them as moments.
